Scarlett Johansson was caught off guard during a recent episode of “Saturday Night Live,” reacting in real time to her husband Colin Jost’s jaw-dropping jokes. Fans have been eager to see Scarlett’s genuine responses to Colin’s comedic jabs, and the latest SNL segment did not disappoint!

Colin Jost and Michael Che's infamous joke swap has become a trademark of SNL where the two comedians exchange roast-style humor. Known for their edgy and often brutal comedic style, their jokes push the envelope each time. In a memorable incident from May, Colin quipped about Scarlett, referencing her role in "Her" with a suggestive twist: “ChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson’s AI character in *Her*, which I’ve never bothered to watch because without that body, what’s the point of listening?”

Scarlett later appeared on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and described the joke swap segment as “brutal,” admitting that Colin’s jabs were often tough to handle. She revealed, “It’s painful. They do it at Christmas, too. It’s like a little gift to each other,” hinting at the increasing severity of the jokes over the years.

This past weekend, audiences were treated to the highly anticipated SNL Christmas joke swap where Scarlett was backstage, ready to react. As Colin dedicated a joke to her, she braced herself amidst the cheers of the audience. He started with a jab about her recent 40th birthday: “Y’all know that Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday, which means I’m about to get up outta there!” Although he quickly reassured, “Nah, I’m just playing,” the laughter from the audience echoed throughout the studio.

What followed was another risqué joke as Colin remarked about their newborn child, humorously hinting at their son's complexion: “We just had a kid together, and y’all ain’t see no pictures of him yet 'cause he Black as hell.” Scarlett’s reaction was palpable; she shook her head in disbelief while the audience erupted in laughter.

Colin's next punchline left Scarlett visibly shocked: “Costco has removed their roast beef sandwich from their menu. But I ain’t tripping; I be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.” As he facedpalm after delivering the punchline, Scarlett mouthed, “Oh my God!” showcasing her surprise and amusement.

Fans took to social media to applaud Scarlett for her good-natured participation, praising her as a “great sport” for enduring the onslaught of “brutal” jokes. “Having ScarJo there just made it 100x better,” one fan commented, while others echoed sentiments about her ability to take the heat. “This isn't just the most brutal Joke Swap, this is the most brutal bit that's ever aired on SNL!” one user proclaimed.

As the laughter and applause filled the studio, it became clear that Scarlett’s presence only heightened the comedic impact of the segment. Exceeding all expectations, the couple’s playful banter on SNL reminded audiences why they are one of Hollywood's most talked-about pairs.
